Ferrari to launch new car on February 7

Ferrari will unveil its new Formula 1 challenger in Maranello on February 7. The new car will then undergo an intensive testing programme but the team is not expected to race the new car until after the first three "fly-away" races are completed. This will ensure that the car is reliable before it goes racing. This pattern is the same as the one adopted last year by the team.
